Review from M O (Wife of Client) published on 26 October 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
All the carers are very good and will do whatever we ask for. They are very caring and also nice people to have around. They report anything that needs attention i.e. broken skin, bruises etc,

The carers are friendly and it is good when we have the ones we have got to know well they can assess how my husband is as they know him. He also likes people he knows as it is less traumatic for him.

Reply from Sammie Carr, Care Manager at Bluebird Care North Hampshire & West Berkshire

Thank you for your review, it is great to hear such positive feedback we are so pleased your husband finds the care assistants friendly and that you have regular care assistants visiting.

Amazing!!! Bluebird are everything you could wish to look after you or a loved one.
The Care Champion and her team are a real credit to Bluebird.
They customise the service needed just for you.
She got her team all PEG trained so my mum could come home from hospital and be cared for at home.
This is great news, as they are now able to help more people in the community that need Support with a PEG.
I appreciate everything you have done and am very grateful.

Thank you x

Overall Experience

My dealings with Bluebird have far exceeded my expectations. The staff I have dealt with are professional, knowledgeable, and clearly very caring. Also, they have made some very useful suggestions to help us. I was concerned that my mother would not be pleased about having help... in fact, she is delighted with the lovely ladies who were sent to us, and she cannot wait for the next visit... we cannot praise them enough.

Reply from Jady Starr, Registered Care Manager at Bluebird Care North Hampshire & West Berkshire

We have had such a positive experience with Bluebird care following my mother's hip break. An amazing reliable service, they provided excellent adaptable well-motivated carers. All have been absolutely lovely. The whole team have been so pleasant and responsive to our little idiosyncrasies. I can't praise them all enough. They would be my first port of call if we needed care in the future.

I have had care services for the last 15-years or more. At first, I needed care, but when I came to Bluebird, I found them to be helpful and supportive as my situation changed, as it tends to do with MS. The staff are well trained and competent.

Overall Experience
The carers were caring and interested in my mum, their notes on the app were very helpful and it was great to have access to them as and when we wanted.

Particularly impressed with one carer who took the time to stay late after my mum had been taken to hospital so I could speak to someone face to face about how she was found - that meant so much - thank you.

Reply from Jady Starr, Registered Care Manager at Bluebird Care North Hampshire & West Berkshire

Maureen, thank you so much for your kind words. We are very pleased that you found our App very useful to keep up to date with mums care. Our care assistants always aim to support our customers and their families to the best of their abilities, we are very pleased that they did stay after mums fall to chat to you about it. We know how valuable this must have been for you.

Overall Experience

We are very happy with the ladies who come in each evening to help Mum with her personal care. They are all kind and efficient and really care for Mum. On a couple of occasions, they have arrived early but normally they arrive within 10 minutes of their start time and have never missed a visit. I’m contacted regularly by email from the office to check that everything is ok or to ask me for more toiletries etc. Their daily visits really have given me back my evenings with my family.

Kim, thank you so much for your lovely review and kind words. We are glad that you are kept up to date by the office team and you are happy with the care we provide to your mother. We always aim to provide the highest quality of care to all of our customers.

Review from Jeremy B (Son of Client) published on 9 April 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

With my father having had an operation and these strange lockdown Covid-19 times, it has been so useful to have Bluebird Care North Hampshire & West Berkshire available to check in on him after his return home from the hospital. We live one and a half hours away and were unable to provide the care required for such a prolonged post-op period. This was where Bluebird Care North Hampshire & West Berkshire came to the rescue, they were able to start his care swiftly and were highly amenable to any changes in timings or number of daily visits we wanted to make. They also suggested a nighttime visit, despite me being there as this gave me a much-needed chance to have a period of unbroken sleep. The carers were always courteous, kind and understanding. The office staff were similarly kind, just what was needed in a stressful time. We send our grateful thanks for all you did.

Reply from Jady Starr, Registered Care Manager at Bluebird Care North Hampshire & West Berkshire

Jeremy, thank you so much for your lovely review. We are very glad that you feel Bluebird Care North Hampshire & West Berkshire provided the high level of care that you required for your father when it was needed, and we were able to alleviate some of the stress that you had at the time. We wish you father and yourself all the best for the future.

It has been an extremely stressful and anxious time with all the restrictions due to Covid and not being able to visit and support my parents. My father has also been recovering from a hospital appointment which has been difficult. Thank you very much to the Bluebird office and caring staff for all their help which has been invaluable.

Reply from Jady Starr, Registered Care Manager at Bluebird Care North Hampshire & West Berkshire
Hi Heather,

Thank you for your review. We agree this past year has been a stressful time for all and has been very difficult not being able to see our families. We are glad that we have been able to make this year slightly easier on you and your parents and we look forward to continuing to work closely with yourself and your parents.

We are very happy with the care that my husband receives. The carers are all well trained and professional. They are friendly and polite and very caring. My husband always enjoys a good conversation with them as this brightens up his day. During lockdown, when we couldn’t see anyone it was lovely to have a carer coming in each morning for my husband to talk to.

Reply from Jady Starr, Registered Care Manager at Bluebird Care North Hampshire & West Berkshire

Thank you for your kind review. I am very pleased that you and your husband are very happy with the care you are receiving.

Tamsin Hudson Job Title: Dementia Care Adviser Joined: 2023
Tamsin Hudson

Tamsin’s career moved into Dementia Healthcare in 2017 after gaining an NVQ3 in Dementia Care studies during the pandemic lockdowns, in her previous role as a Dementia Adviser in Oxfordshire.  Before this, she had worked for many years as a CIPD-qualified Human Resources Generalist, working in Education/Care settings. Tamsin has always been a people-focused person, so the move into person-centred Dementia Care has been a natural progression as well as somewhat of a passion. Tamsin is delighted to be able to continue using her specialist experience, skills and dementia knowledge, with our customers affected by dementia.  She sees supporting and advising their family members as an extremely important side of her role in this new position with Bluebird Care in West Berkshire and North Hampshire.
